This was my Grandfather’s ESSO station.

Hi Troy,
Looks like it was a busy day at the station when the photo was taken. Is the station or the building still there today?

The building is still there but the station has been closed for years

Hi Troy! I was the first to comment on this photo. I collect gas station memorabilia, especially road maps, pictures, and any other ‘small’ memorabilia. Would you, by chance, have saved any memorabilia from the station, especially from it’s days as an ESSO station?

Norma, unfortunately not. I guess at the time it was looked at as junk. This is truly a case of hindsight is 20/20
